CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINSAGRADA BIBLIA
1 I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.1 Vi, então, um novo céu e uma nova terra, pois o primeiro céu e a primeira terra desapareceram e o mar já não existia.
2 And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.2 Eu vi descer do céu, de junto de Deus, a Cidade Santa, a nova Jerusalém, como uma esposa ornada para o esposo.
3 And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them.3 Ao mesmo tempo, ouvi do trono uma grande voz que dizia: Eis aqui o tabernáculo de Deus com os homens. Habitará com eles e serão o seu povo, e Deus mesmo estará com eles.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”4 Enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos e já não haverá morte, nem luto, nem grito, nem dor, porque passou a primeira condição.
5 And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.”5 Então o que está assentado no trono disse: Eis que eu renovo todas as coisas. Disse ainda: Escreve, porque estas palavras são fiéis e verdadeiras.
6 And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.6 Novamente me disse: Está pronto! Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Começo e o Fim. A quem tem sede eu darei gratuitamente de beber da fonte da água viva.
7 Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.7 O vencedor herdará tudo isso; e eu serei seu Deus, e ele será meu filho.
8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”8 Os tíbios, os infiéis, os depravados, os homicidas, os impuros, os maléficos, os idólatras e todos os mentirosos terão como quinhão o tanque ardente de fogo e enxofre, a segunda morte.
9 And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”9 Então veio um dos sete Anjos que tinham as sete taças cheias dos sete últimos flagelos e disse-me: Vem, e mostrar-te-ei a noiva, a esposa do Cordeiro.
10 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,10 Levou-me em espírito a um grande e alto monte e mostrou-me a Cidade Santa, Jerusalém, que descia do céu, de junto de Deus,
11 having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.11 revestida da glória de Deus. Assemelhava-se seu esplendor a uma pedra muito preciosa, tal como o jaspe cristalino.
12 And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.12 Tinha grande e alta muralha com doze portas, guardadas por doze anjos. Nas portas estavam gravados os nomes das doze tribos dos filhos de Israel.
13 On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.13 Ao oriente havia três portas, ao setentrião três portas, ao sul três portas e ao ocidente três portas.
14 And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.14 A muralha da cidade tinha doze fundamentos com os nomes dos doze apóstolos do Cordeiro.
15 And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.15 Quem falava comigo trazia uma vara de ouro como medida para medir a cidade, as suas portas e a sua muralha.
16 And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.16 A cidade formava um quadrado: o comprimento igualava à largura. Mediu a cidade com a vara: doze mil estádios. O comprimento, a largura e a altura eram iguais.
17 And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.17 E mediu a muralha: cento e quarenta e quatro côvados, segundo a medida humana empregada pelo anjo.
18 And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.18 O material da muralha era jaspe, e a cidade ouro puro, semelhante a puro cristal.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,19 Os alicerces da muralha da cidade eram ornados de toda espécie de pedras preciosas: o primeiro era de jaspe, o segundo de safira, o terceiro de calcedônia, o quarto de esmeralda,
20 the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.20 o quinto de sardônica, o sexto de cornalina, o sétimo de crisólito, o oitavo de berilo, o nono de topázio, o décimo de crisóparo, o undécimo de jacinto e o duodécimo de ametista.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.21 Cada uma das doze portas era feita de uma só pérola e a avenida da cidade era de ouro, transparente como cristal.
22 And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.22 Não vi nela, porém, templo algum, porque o Senhor Deus Dominador é o seu templo, assim como o Cordeiro.
23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.23 A cidade não necessita de sol nem de lua para iluminar, porque a glória de Deus a ilumina, e a sua luz é o Cordeiro.
24 And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.24 As nações andarão à sua luz, e os reis da terra levar-lhe-ão a sua opulência.
25 And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place.25 As suas portas não se fecharão diariamente, pois não haverá noite.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.26 Levar-lhe-ão a opulência e a honra das nações.
27 There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.27 Nela não entrará nada de profano nem ninguém que pratique abominações e mentiras, mas unicamente aqueles cujos nomes estão inscritos no livro da vida do Cordeiro.
